Quick Guide

1. Press on/off to turn NEO 2 on.
2. Press applets.
3. Make sure the cursor is next to Responder; then, press enter.
4. If you have connected to a Renaissance Receiver before, NEO 2 will ask
if you want to stay connected to it; press Y for yes or N for no. Then, press
enter.
If you haven't connected to a Renaissance Receiver before, you'll see a
list of Receivers (networks). Use the arrow keys to highlight the one you
want to connect to; then, press enter.
In AccelTest, when you choose "Responder" or "NEO 2 Only" as the scoring
method for an assignment, students can use a NEO 2 instead of a Responder
to enter their answers. Students can use NEO 2 to complete in-class
assignments, but not homework; also, the Notes feature cannot be used with
NEO 2. You cannot assign an owner to NEO 2 laptops as you do to
Renaissance Responders in AccelTest.
As with Renaissance Responders, teachers can start a student-paced session
so students can complete assigned work that can be done with a NEO 2.
Teachers should make sure students have their IDs from the AccelTest
Gradebook. (IDs are also available in the AccelTest Student ID Report.)
Students follow these steps to complete the assignment:
1. Start the Responder SmartApplet as described in the previous section.
2. Type your student ID from the AccelTest Gradebook and press enter.
3. If you have only one assignment, the program will ask if you are ready to
work on it. Press Y for yes to continue; then, press enter.
If you have more than one assignment, the program will ask which one
you want to work on, and it will list the assignments. Press the letter for
the assignment you want; then, press enter.
4. Choose or type an answer for each question in the assignment; then,
press enter. Use the letter keys for multiple-choice questions, T or F for
true/false questions, and Y or N for yes/no questions. For numeric-
response or short-answer questions, simply type the answer. Note: If the
assignment is printed, it may include some questions that you can't
answer on NEO 2, such as essay questions; answer these questions on
paper.
